Radio personality Charlamagne Tha God has been accused of saying a racial slur against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The host compared it to the senator's behavior towards the justice.
Charlamagne Tha God threw a racial epithet at black U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarance Thomas, calling the jurist a “coon” on Wednesday’s broadcast of“In My Opinion” segment, where he speaks on current events and culture.
During his bit this week, he played a video of Delaware Democrat Senator Chris Coons. After playing the clip, the radio host, whose real name is Leonard McKelvey, used the senator’s name as a cudgel against Justice Thomas. In the clip, Sen. Coons was fearmongering about Trump trying to claim a third term in office.
In response, Charlamagne claimed that Trump’s jokes about a third term aren’t just trolling or joshing but serious.
“Nope. Jokes about abusing power don’t hit as hard when you’re actually abusing power, okay? It’s like breaking out a whoopee cushion after you already shit your pants in the middle of a meeting. Nobody’s in the mood to laugh, okay?
” Charlamagne spat out. Even if Trump is kind of joking, he’s doing it in a way that’s becoming real. Like, you ever do a fun little bit for so long that it becomes a genuine part of your personality? Like, I would jokingly end every conversation with my 17-year-old daughter like, “Byeeee!
” And now it’s the only way I can hang up the phone. Like, that’s essentially what’s happening to Trump, except worse because he can’t seem to say “Byeeee” to the job.
